t ALBERT. `n. LANPHEAR.,

To all whom-it may concern.- l Be it, knownV that L ALBERT. H.` LANPHEAR, of Atchison, in thej count-yy of Atchison, and State of t Kansas, have invented certain new. andhnseful Imf proveinents in Chimney Attachments; and: I do hereby declare that the following is a full,V clear, and exact description thereof, reference boing had to erence marked thereon, which form a part-'of this speccation. i

Ifhe nature of my inventionconsists in the construction and arrangement ofj a self-closing chimney-flue and ash-cleaner, as willbe hereinafter fully'set forth. `In order to enableothcrssklled in the art to which `in vinvention appertains to` make and use the same, I t will now proceed to describe its construction and operat tion', referring to the annexed drawing, in whicht Figure l is a front view, and t ,t Figure 2 is a transverse vertical section.

represents the face-plate, which is provided, o`n its inner or rear`side,twith a flange, B, extending ali t around, suitable' dist-anceii'rn the edges ot' vthe i'ace-plate.4 'I l This flange B is inserted in the chimney-flue,forint ing, around the Stove-pipe hole, in the upper part of the face-plate, as it were, a. thimble.V i Abovet-he stove-pipe hole, "on the frontor outer j the accompanying drawing and. to the letters of ref f Letters Patent No, 107.694, dated september 27,1870.

d The Schedule referred to in these. Letteifs Patent and makng'part of the s'anie side yot the faceplate, is pivoted or hingeda cover, C,

which, when the stovepipe is taken out, falls down, of its weight, closing the stovepipe-hole. f t

In the lower part of the face-plate VA is inserted a pan or drawer, D, provided with' catches,"a a, as shown in iig. 2, for holding it in place.`

which is causedbythe ignition ot' soot and ashes act cn'rnulating `in the fine, nearly closing lthe draught, as,

in this case, the soot, &c., falls down belowi'nto-the box or drawer, and can readilyvbe removed without. 'disturbing the stovepipe or soiling the room.

I alnaware'that a 'chimney-attachment, consisting of -a face-plate provided with anopening for a s tovepipe anda drawer to catch the soot, 85e., is not new, andvsnch -I do not claim; but

That I do claim,-and desire to secure by Lette-rs Patent, is-- f The herein-describedchimney-attachment, consistingof the face-plate A, iiange B, 'hinged cover C, and drawer I),` having the catches a a, all constructed and arranged as set forth and shown.

` In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my o wn, I affix' my signature in the presence of two witnesses. Witnesses: H. LANPHEARf `ADAM WYWAGENHALS, ANNA W. WAGBNHALS.
